"Lct the shoe he rs light and narrow

condition of the foot, y said David Styles
in a paper on the horse, read recently be-
fore n Massachusetts farmers club. ''1f it
is black hoOf that is hollow on the bot
tom, very narrow, light shoe or none at
all, as all such horses can 90 nearly the
year round without shoes. But, if fiat,
the wire must he wider and the shoe
thicker; but don't load the horses feet
with iron, with a two pound shoe on each
foot; the horse lifts nearly tifty-twO tons
in four hours tread at sixty steps min

"Our fathers were not so lavish of their
iron, and now l would rather go back to
their common sense mode of shOeing than

up to the very cOrvovary band, this de-
stroying the enamel given for its protec-
ton. This kind of work looks nice and
is praised by too many. | like to see
healthy, shiny hoofs, and as strong as horn
itself, and thus they will he either by GO
ing barefoot or shod as near Us possible 10y

way is to throw the responsibility on the
sheer, and if he fails quit him after
proper trial."

A simple apparatus for measuring the bulk
of solid body, without immelsng the latter
in water and without weighing it, is described
in Chrorique Undesirable, rs follows: The
instrument consists of a graduated glass tube
one inch in diameter, which is closed at the
upper extremity with rubber stopper, while
the lower extremity is fixed in a copper box
two and one quarter inches in height and
four inches in diameter. The apparatus is
filed with sand up to the zero OF the gradu-
alton. Then it is turned upside down ard the
bottom of the box is unscrewed and the OBJ
jcct inserted After the box has been closed
it is placed in its upright position. 1t is then
only necessary to observe the level of the sand
in the tube. The volume sought for will be
read upon the graduated scale"

Orthochromatc photography, which is now
becoming an important branch of the art, is
not, as many suppose, photography in colors,
but rather photography Of colors. II, ex-
plains Popular Science News, an oil painting
is copied i'll the usual manner all the yellow
tones, which to the eye appear light, will be
more or less dark in the photograph, while
the darker blue tones will be nearly white.
This is due to the fact that the blue rays are
accompanied by much larger proportion Of
nctinic or chemical rays than the yellow. BY
covering the sensitive plate with certain
tuorescent bodies, among which eosine and
erythrosine have given the best results, the
length or character of the waves of colored
light are so changed that they ar photo
graphcd with their proper graduation, of light
and shade. By this process most beautiful
effects have been obtained. The softn2Ss and
delicacy of the shading is such that it re-
sembles rather a crayon drawing than pho
tograph; and, as the process has only re
Gently been made practical. it is probable
that even greater success will be obtained
with it in the near future.

1t will be seen that holding the instrument
low produces fine lines; and by elevating the
instrument broad effects arc produced, and
the artist can go from line to shadow without
stopping, as seen in Fig 2. Surprising the
instrument moved from A to b, following
dotted lines, the effect would be as seen on the
paper from A toe.
Everything about the operation of the air
brush becomes perfectly automatic after
little practice, and the artist will handle u
with the same ease that he now handles tho
brush or stump. In a word, it puts into the
artists hands at once many years Of practical
manipulation, which few would care to invest
the large amount Of time and study to attain
1t does not, however. imply the entire aban-
donment of any OF the methods now in use.
1t may DO well to add that the committee
on science and the arts constituted by the
Franklin institute Of the state Of Pennsyl-
vania, after due examination of the air
brush, regard it as deserving Of the warmest
commentator.

Considerable confusion exists in the
minds of many farmc:s in regard to the
terms "Aldcrncy, Jersey" and "Gucrn-
sey" as applied to cows from the Channel
Islands or their descendants bred in this
country In word, they don't quite
know the distinguishing traits between Il
so called Jersey COW and an Attorney, for
instance. Properly speaking, an Aldcrncy
COW is one from the island Of Alderney or
its direct descendant, just as II jersey
is, properly speaking, a COW from the
island of Jersey. The feet, however, that
the cattle imported from these several
Channel Islands are substantially the same
the islands having II similar appearance
and belonging to the same geological for
maton-rcnders it Of small Importance
which name is applied.
The fact that but few other than Jer-
seys are imported to this country from the
Channel Islands has naturally encouraged
the use of the term Jersey for the Chan
mel Islands cows and their descendants.

Thin Shelled Eggs.

If the egg shells are thin it is n sign that
lime is lacking in the food, or often, if
this occurs in winter, that fowls cannot
get to the ground To fill their gizzards
with gravel needed to digest food properly.
LeghOrn hens and other persistent layers
generally have very thin shClled eggs dcs-
pite all precautions in feeding. Many
losses of eggs while undergoing incuba-
ton occur from this cause. To prevent
eggs from being thin shclled it is better to
give milk ana wheat middlngs mixed
rather than rely on fowls eating sufli-
cheney of lime in any form. If egg shells
are fed they should be pounded so fine
that all appearance Of the egg will be de
stroyed More fowls learn to eat eggs
from having nearly whole shells thrown
to them to peck at than from any other
cause.

SECTION CASE FOR SURPLUS HONEY.


The crates are painted, and when set
on the hive they form Il part Of it. If
separators are desired, these may be used
in this case by slipping a one-half inch
strip of tin between the two end rows of
sections, SO as to prevent the separators
from going down between the Stats; then,
M you put in a row OF sections, place a
separator in There is, however, no need
of separators; by using sections seven 10
the foot, without separators, they hold,
says the authority quoted, as near one
pound as it is practical to obtain, and
nearly every section can be Grated. Many of
the cases in use have to he used inside the
hive cover to protect them from the
weather, and more than one or two cases
cannot be used at time and have them
so protected.
The cover raises with this case as fast
IS TERED up, setting on the case the same
as on the main hive, it being made of the
same material as the hive, thereby pro-
tecting the sections the same as the brood
chamber.
1t admits Of tiering up to the best pos
Sible advantage there being but one bee
space between each tier. The sections are
protected from brace combs on the bottom
by the stats, the same as in a wide frame,
without the use Of q skeleton honey
board with a bee space above and below
il, which takes up valuable space, be-
sides separating the sections too widely
from the brood chamber. The movable
or hinged side loOsens the sections all at

also allows the removal of sections if de-
sired on the hive.

Watering Cows.

Some people seem to think If cows get
water once Il day it is all they need; but
that is not enough, unless they are living
on succulent food, such as roots or ensil-
age. Cattle are their own best judges Of
their need of water, and they do best
when they have their option about using
it. When they drink but once day they
overload with it, to their injury. Taking
in an oversupply of cold water chills the
stomach and occasions discomfort and
pain, and, what is worse, stops digestion
till the contents of the stomach, by slow
degrees, warm up again.
